I purchased my 2011 Hybrid Sonata and the milage is dreadful. I have had several major repairs, thankfully for warrantee & mechanical breakdown car insurance.
Received rebate card for first 2-3 years for miss leading mpg. Required maintenance preformed and have requested dealer service manager submit, for a couple of years?? Many of the electrical features have failed. Also gas tank release switch

Very reliable

I have a 2011 Sonata with 125k miles. It's been driven from NY to California and back. I have had only 2 problems with the car and both covered under warranty. A wheel bearing at 99k miles and air bag clock spring at 125k miles. My only complaints with the car is the passenger seat is very low and the headlights aren't so great.

Best mid sized care owned.

Car surpassed my expectations. I do not like driving however this car is the exception to the rule. I have owned a Chevy, Ford, Nissan, and Dodge. The Hyundai service department at 1271 S. Auto Center Dr. Is by far the best service department I've ever had to deal with.

I like this vehicle, large space and easy to drive. I only spend one or two hours to practice and then I drive to work.
The staff and faculty in Courtesy Hyundai of Tampa are nice and good, I have great experience there. I changed the oil there and the price is good, only 15 dollars with coupon.

I would not consider purchasing another Hyundai or referring anyone to this brand. Although the vehicle is stylish and great on gas, it doesn't size to it's competitors in my opinion and it also doesn't hold it's value.

Recommended

Pros
Nice style, and affordable car, great gas mileage.

Cons
Being the only owner, I ran into a lot of major issues with this vehicle.

Sonata Hybrid

Love my car. I was only supposed to drive it temporarily and then my husband was supposed to take it. But I loved it so much I decided to keep it for myself. Since I hate getting new cars, I hope to be driving it for many more years.

Recommended

Pros
Have had no problems.

Cons
A little slow from a standstill. Wish it had some of the newer features, but I hate getting a new car.

Too many recalls

Too many recalls and I feel at this point I should be given a new car with all the constant recalls each year. There was an engine, seat belt, and war bag recall and his can you trust a vehicle that has all these recalls to be a reliable vehicle with a family.

Dependable Transportation

Purchased a Sonata new in 2011. This car turned out to be very dependable transportation for the 111,000 miles that I had it. The Sonata is an outstanding car for the value and it got great gas mileage. I would not hesitate to own another Sonata.

Performance of Sonata

I liked the original performance and especially the styling of my Sonata, but expensive parts of the vehicle began failing that was not expected. The noise while driving has always been a disturbing issue for me. I am considering not buying another Sonata partially due to the Consumer Reports rating of Sonata compared to Toyota and Honda. Frustrating because I like the styling better.

Styling, Comfort with the exception of noise.

My favorite car

My Hyundai Sonata 2011 is my first Hyundai, but it is my seventh automobile. Of all my cars this one is my favorite. I purchased it with the idea in mind that I would be doing a lot of traveling with family and friends in this car. It is comfortable to drive, has plenty of roomy space inside for passengers, and has a large trunk for suite cases. I have driven nearly 100,000 miles since owning it and it still runs great.

Recommended

Pros
Comfort, gas mileage, roominess, conveniences and features

Cons
There is a blind spot on the passenger side front windshield when looking for traffic coming from the right side at certain intersections. I have since gotten used to this.

2011 Sonata

As the first year of a new model I expected some issues, but I've been disappointed with the number of recalls that I've experienced. Other than that, I've been pleased with the car and will definitely consider Hyundai when it is time for a new car.

Recommended

Pros
Too many recalls on a new version (2011)

Cons
Passenger seat is too low and not height adjustable.
Headlights seem to "cut off" at the top.

I love this car!

I bought this car within a week of seeing a friend's Sonata. I love the lines and features offered on this vehicle. The interior leather is beautiful. The mileage is great. I enjoy driving this car very much. It is reliable and Hyundai keeps up on any recalls efficiently.
